Good afternoon my peeps! Been extremely busy here between family & friends coming home, wrapping up the year with the Old Stampin' Up! Catalog and getting ready for the New Stampin' Up! Catalog!! Thus why I've been missing in action here on my blog.

I've been working around the clock on so much fun stuff and not so fun stuff. One thing this year with me getting the new window's 10 all my files for some reason got messed up. Sigh So that has meant all my check lists, pdf's, ribbon guides, paper samples, customer bookmarks and etc. for the new catalog are not laid out right causing me to have to basically re-due EVERYTHING. I've also been working on getting classes planned out for the next year! I love planning out classes but a lot goes on behind the scenes with my on-line classes that you don't normally see.They are a LOT of work; but I don't mind because I love to teach and I love what I do!! This is what my counters look like when I start planning.

I am also the proud owner of 5 planners too :) to keep us organized and on track! So I have not abandon you all it's just been really insane for me this year. Be pre-paired I have a LOT of AWESOME classes planned with the launch of the new catalog. Have I said how much I love this catalog and I know you will too!!

Back this morning with the card from The Stamp Review Hop that I shared HERE. Thank you all that left comments and hoped with us :)It uses the Number of Years Photopolymer Stamp Set item #140653 from the Occasions Catalog (pg. 11). You can purchase this set with the framelits as a bundle to save 15%. I also added this card along with other items to my Etsy Store.

So many of you said you loved the color combo on this card so I decided to use the combo for this weeks Color Round Up. It was inspired by a piece of scrapbook paper I recently purchased from another company so I improvised and came up with today's project! So easy to use our products to create something beautiful inspired by another company. Here is a badge for those of you that love keep these for color combo's. See all my Color Round Ups and Projects on my Color Round Up Board on Pinterest. This combo is perfect for spring!

Rubber Redneck Quick Shots:

I wanted this card to have LOTS of layers :) and I think I did it! I used Smoky Slate card stock as my base and added next a piece of Pink Pirouette card stock.

Two different patterns of the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper was used next. I didn't have an Basic Gray DSP. I improvised and placed a piece of White Vellum card stock over the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper which is black. It worked perfect to make it look like Basic Gray.

Tip: Tone down any pattern or color by layering White Vellum card stock over it.

I took the stamp from Number of Years Stamp Set; inked it in Smoky Slate and stamped onto the Whisper White card stock.

Next I inked the flower stamps from Number of Years Stamp Set in Pink Pirouette and stamped onto the Whisper White card stock. I poured Clear Embossing Powder over the image and heat set with the Heat Tool.

I inked the next stamp in Calypso Coral and stamped onto the Whisper White card stock. I poured Clear Embossing Powder over the image and heat set with the Heat Tool.

For the next little flower I wanted another color but didn't want to add another color to the combo. To achieve this I inked the image in Calypso Coral and stamped off onto a piece of scratch paper then stamp onto the Whisper White card stock.

Tip: Once you're stamp is inked stamp off onto a piece of scratch paper to get a lighter tone of that ink. By doing this you just added 48 more colors to your ink collection when you use Stampin' Up! Inks!

I kept the inside simple and clean but again wanted it to have layers. A piece of Pink Pirouette and Whisper White card stock was added.

I do not know about you all but I am sure ready for spring and summer! This kit was perfect to chase away those winter blues. Sunny gorgeous colors that I myself would not have thought to put together. Here is my Color Round Up #153 using the colors from this months kit!

Awesome color combo!!!

Here is a close up of the stamp set.

I just LOVE this stamp set; especially the hello sunshine greeting!! :)

Yes I am alive!!! :) I've not been feeling too great here. The weather has been wonky with a few days really humid and hot then down to 40's cold, rainy and damp. One of the worst things for my body it really makes my RA flare up BAD; plus they increased my meds. which makes me not feel so great each time my body has to adjust to it. We've also been really BUSY!!

Unfortunately my uncle also had to go in for double bypass surgery too. Since his heart attack he just hasn't felt better at all. He's doing good and hopefully he will be back to his ornery self :) thank you for your prayers, emails and good thoughts!

* Add a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper and punch out one end with the Banner Punch.
